Lets's calculate LCM of 942,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 458754
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/458754
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7506/942,7838/487 is 2/458754
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 942,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(942,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(942,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(942,487) = ( 942 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(942,487) = 458754 / 1
LCM(942,487) = 458754
